My sons - Ryan and Evan.
It has started.
My eldest son, Ryan, feels a tad jealous when me and wifey pay attention to his younger brother. Whatever that his younger brother has, he nows wants. It looks sweet at first but I am worried. I don't want him to feel that we love him less. It is never the case. I love my two sons more than my own life. But does not know that yet.
So we handle the situation as best we can. By reassuring him that his younger brother is not a threat. The first few days upon returning home with my second son, Evan, Ryan seemed to withdraw into his own world. Looking lost at first, he slowly showed signs of aggression towards Evan. It was as if Ryan was stating his claim of being the first born. Wifey and I had to slowly introduce Evan to him. We had to introduce "baby" to him.
To Ryan, Evan is "baby". Yup, for someone his age (1 year 11 months) he could identify that Evan was a baby. It was the first word Ryan uttered when he saw Evan for the first time. Something that I will tell him when he gets older.
I hope to see my two sons live life as more than brothers but also as best friends. That in this journey we call life, they will have each other. That this will carry them through long after I am gone.
Amen.
